2027 Summer Associate

Keller Postman represents a broad array of clients in class and mass actions, individual arbitrations, and multidistrict litigation matters at the trial and appellate levels in federal and state courts. Serving hundreds of thousands of clients in litigation and arbitration, we have prosecuted high-profile mass tort, antitrust, privacy, product liability, employment, and consumer-rights cases. Our firm also acts as plaintiffs’ counsel in high-stakes public-enforcement actions. Our mission is to achieve exceptional results for our clients, drive innovation in the practice of law, and pursue unparalleled excellence in everything we do. 

Purpose: Keller Postman seeks applications from rising 2L students interested in plaintiffs' work for our 2027 Summer Associate Program. Summer Associates will complete varied substantive assignments, connect with Keller Postman attorneys and staff, and learn about the important and innovative work we do at the firm. Summer Associates will be based in either our Chicago or D.C. office. Bi-weekly compensation is based on a yearly salary of $175,000. Summer Associates must spend eight (8) to ten (10) consecutive weeks with us, typically from late May or early June to early or mid-August. 

Application Materials: Please submit your resume, legal writing sample, and law school transcript. Unofficial transcripts are acceptable; if you apply with only Fall grades, please send an update when you have Spring grades to [email protected]. Cover letters are optional, but encouraged (we'd love to know why you are interested in plaintiffs' work and KP). 

Deadline: Please submit your application by May 27, 2025. Interviews (conducted virtually) will begin shortly thereafter.
